That is certainly an understandable position, and I am then experimenting with
changes to majordomo resend, but no success nor catastrophic failures yet.
There is a variable bounce_mailer in the maojordomo resend script,
where I added -XV to someting which looks like /usr/lib/sendmail - but
it did not work. I will report if I get it to work.

Anyway, Wietse, I would be happy if you (or others) could help me with the following:

For postfix proper, does postfix invoke the postfix sendmail command somewhere
in the process as an MTA to deliver a mail, - for aliases expansion?
I would have thought that this was governed by postfix/master.cf .
That is postfix would receive a message on port 25 and then forward it to some queue
for deliverance. I would then think I could employ postfix sendmail -XV to generate
bounce mails with the recipients address in the bounce field somewhere.


Best regards

The Postfix sendmail command RECEIVES mail INTO Postfix.
The Postfix sendmail command is not used to DELIVER mail.

OK, What can you recommend to me to have postfix do VERP
for a recipient listed in an alias file, and where this recipient
is specified via an :include: statement?

You invoke "sendmail -XV ..." as per the instructions from Majordomo.

Postfix VERP support works for remote and local recipients
whether they are mailboxes or aliases.

I am not using majordomo here, only postfix.

So should I then have a sendmail -XV included in the alias file?
I do not do that for majordomo.
Or should I so something in master.cf with the SMPT handler or some such?

Thanks for all your answers.
